Reason 10 to Dump Chafee

We're in the Top Ten! And the reasons to dump Chafee will only get more resounding.

Today's reason to dump Chafee will astonish you. So far this year, the Senate has had 230 roll call votes. How did Senator Chafee vote? (Source PDF)

Lincoln Chafee voted with Hillary Clinton 71% of the time and with Ted Kennedy almost 72%!

How does that compare to Senator Ben Nelson, who is arguably considered the Senate's most conservative Democrat? Nelson voted with Clinton only 59% of the time and with Kennedy 54%.

BOTTOM LINE: These numbers don't make Chafee a self-described "moderate". They make him a full-blown liberal.
